Biden Says He Would Support Moving All-Star Game Over Georgia Voting Law

[Concerned American]

I'm a huge Braves fan. Wearing their cap right now. I was even going to try to go the the all star game. So not happy, but I totally support it.

HaHaHa, you fucking hypocrite--nothing racist about the BRAVES.

Legislation has consequences.

Georgia Republicans have only themselves to blame.

The American people oppose laws and measures intended to suppress the right to vote.

This year's summer All Star Game (ASG) was supposed to take place in Atlanta. Now it won't. Thank the water-hating crackers in the Georgia state legislature for that.

>> “Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box,” Manfred said. “In 2020, MLB became the first professional sports league to join the non-partisan Civic Alliance to help build a future in which everyone participates in shaping the United States. We proudly used our platform to encourage baseball fans and communities throughout our country to perform their civic duty and actively participate in the voting process. Fair access to voting continues to have our game’s unwavering support.”​

​

Though the game will no longer take place in Atlanta, the 2021 Midsummer Classic will still celebrate the memory of the late Hank Aaron, an Atlanta icon who passed away on Jan. 22. MLB will also move forward with planned investments to support local communities in Atlanta as part of the All-Star Legacy Projects.​

​

“We are finalizing a new host city, and details about these events will be announced shortly,” Manfred said.​

​

The Players Alliance issued a statement in support of the decision, saying: “We want to make our voice heard loud and clear in our opposition of the recent Georgia legislation that not only disproportionately disenfranchises the Black community, but also paves the way for other states to pass similarly harmful laws based largely on widespread falsehoods and disinformation.​

​

“While we will support those in need in whichever city the game is ultimately relocated to, we will also uphold our commitment to those Georgians we’ve already planned to serve. We will use our voice, our platform, and our partnerships now more than ever to create real, tangible change for the Black community to stand up for every American’s right to vote.​

​

“We will not be silenced. We won’t back down in the fight for racial equity. We will never stop breaking barriers to the ballot box.”​

​

... This was to have been the first All-Star Game held in Atlanta since 2000 and the first at Truist Park, which opened in 2017. <<​

So proud to be a baseball fan right now. Even though just yesterday another fan and I were in a long conversation about MLB's outlook and what it's doing wrong in recent changes. And because I am a baseball fan I noticed in yesterday's Opening Day game that Georgia's team the Atlanta Braves was sporting a shoulder patch proudly poclaiming "All Star Game" on its uniforms. Those patches will now have to come off. Or if they like, stay on there to attract more attention to what went down. Kinda sucks for the city of Atlanta, which certainly wasn't behind the antidemocratic bullshit, but let it be a lesson to the yahoos in the rest of the state who keep electing the Confederate mindset and the Marjorie Taylor Fucking Greenes.

YER OUT!

Yep, for the two dipshits who just got elected to the Senate there. LOL

Thank Trump for those two “dipshits”

Both Georgia Senators oppose this move, and the boycotting of Coca-Cola, The Home Depot, or Delta Airlines.

" Fervent Aggression Contest To Establish Perceived Competent Voting Policies "

* Help Hour Selves Sewing Two Endorse The Cause *

Simple facts are that state legislators from all fifty states should be endorsing to ensure independence of the vote , which can only be satisfied by in person voting with anonymity .

" Ensure Independence Of The Vote Campaign Kicks Off "
* Getting In Line For In Person Voting With Real Id *
-- Two Weeks Maximum In Person Early Voting And No Mail In Ballots With Extreme Limits On Excuse Absentee Voting --

" Just Because Traditions Are Not Always Sufficient "
* Requisite Standards Of Individualism *
Mail in voting does not assure sufficient anonymity to ensure the independence of votes cast by voters .

* Election Integrity Saboteurs Leveraging Against Most Amicable Competent Necessary Standards *

The arrogant trope of federalism bureaucrats are bantering for a home run with house resolution bill 1 - H.R.1 - 117th Congress (2021-2022): For the People Act of 2021 - , by applying article 1 section 4 of us constitution , and those dilettanes of self infatuated foolishness need to have an deleterious objectives reigned in .

And you are happy about this because.....why?

Because, Georgia needs to feel some pain over their efforts to halt black voters from voting. Bigly!!!

That's a lie and you know it, hack. Nobody is trying to halt any legal vote.

They are just trying to make it very difficult.

 

[rightwinger]

Maybe we can get the Georgia Legislators to hand out free water at the All Star Game

Why? Why do you constantly support things that are against your best interests?

Sounds like a mental illness to me.

Because I live in a society.

 

[JustAGuy1]

We get it, think and do as we do or else.

 

[Synthaholic]

Who watches baseball anyways. Not 1 woman or trans athlete is allowed in the league.
All of baseball should be boycotted until a woman or trans person takes the mound!

Trevor Bauer is a woman.

 

[Rambunctious]

Bye MLB...don't let the door hit ya....and take woka cola with ya....

That’s great, all those black people who work at the stadium sure must appreciate it.

This is more corporate warfare against conservatives and against democracy.

It will of course, backfire. Go woke, go broke.

Why do you think there are a lot of Black people who work at the stadium?

 

[Rambunctious]

Did MLB miss the drop in the NBA fan base...stupid is as stupid does...and these morons didn't even read the GA bill....

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Overpaid prima donnas.....who cares

 

[Synthaholic]

Good question:

Because we respect other countries laws?

 

[Synthaholic]

Were not responsible for China, dumbass.

 

[Rambunctious]

The NBA announced right after their lowest viewed all star game that they will not be sponsoring BLM next year....learned a lessen...the MLB front office must be filled with morons.....

Apparently we don't know it because *checks notes*

Merck has spoken out
American Express has spoken out
Coke has spoken out
Delta has spoken out

So apparently your message that it's all good and does nothing wrong is being lost on us...

Do you like the salty taste of corporate dick in your mouth, hack?

Interesting that you know that they're salty.

 

[Synthaholic]

As much damage as can be done to the DemoKKKrats' latest Senate win, I support it.

Marvin does realize, but is in total denial that the Confederates in the South, were the main slave owners.
No matter how many times you type demoKKKrats will NOT change the fact the conservatives are the guilty ones.
Southern Dixiecrats were Conservatives and associate with the current (R) trump party.

Suck that Marvin.

Lincoln was a Republican, Loseco. Suck on that for while.

Lincoln was a Liberal. Southern slave owners were Conservatives.

Because losing money is the only thing that Republican thugs understand.
